There is a talk that RRR team again influenced the National Awards here in India. They could successfully campaign for the Oscar awards and they have done it here in India too.
Keeravani the music director’s sister Sreelekha was on the Jury and a lesser-known song from Kondapolam written by Naatu Naatu songwriter Chandra Bose got the National Award.
The song is not that earthshaking in Kondapolam but Bose got the award. Allu Arjun got the National Award as the Best Actor. No doubt Arjun as a smuggler has done exceedingly well.
But Kantara the super duper movie and the hero has been ignored. Rajamouli and Mega family members are very close. Kondapolam and Pushpa are heroes from the mega compound.
Generally, there is a talk that some heroes pay for the awards. But National Awards are given by the central government and it has a jury. The Jury certainly can be influenced.
Kantara music was earth-shaking. It is a fusion of the west and south. But it was not taken into serious consideration. But all said and done the so-called song of Kondapolam is not popular and the people of Andhra do not know about it.
Sreelekha and other members may like it. No doubt Pushpa is a popular movie, but if you see the performance of Shetty in Kantara in the end, you will get goosebumps.
There are many films which were not properly marketed by the producers. But anyway luck also plays some role here and there. Above all Rajamoulis father Vijayendra Prasad is a BJP Rajya Sabha member.
So we can say that there could be some political influence also in the long run.
